Definition

Socio-territorial segregation refers to the unequal spatial distribution of socio-economic groups within a certain geographical area. This can take many forms, such as segregated neighborhoods, cities, or regions based on income level, race, ethnicity, or other social factors.

Socio-territorial segregation can have a number of negative impacts, including reinforcing social inequalities, limiting access to resources and opportunities for marginalized groups, and perpetuating stereotypes and biases. It can also lead to social isolation, discrimination, and unequal access to education, healthcare, and other important services.

Addressing socio-territorial segregation often requires a multi-faceted approach that includes policies aimed at promoting social inclusion, reducing inequalities, and creating more inclusive and equitable communities. This may involve implementing affordable housing policies, investing in infrastructure and services in marginalized areas, promoting diversity and integration, and challenging discriminatory practices and attitudes. By addressing the root causes of socio-territorial segregation, we can create more just and inclusive societies that benefit all members of the community.
